Dunvegan Castle

We called in at Dunvegan Castle, home of the MacSumwonoruthers. It had a fantastic garden and interesting displays. I had been reading Bill Bryson’s book at the time as I thought he may have had some useful clues on traveling through Britain. Unfortunately, most of his book concentrates on the English with only small parts given over to the Scots or the Welsh for that matter. Bryson has many acerbic things to say about the British Aristocracy and landed gentry and the way they package up their homes for public display. One of those was the tendancy for each stately home to have a jumping castle. Fortunately, the MacSumwonoruthers had not given way to this line of thinking. Their garden and castle was an excellent tourist facility if still a little pricey.
